AMD Game! Initiative

AMD has partnered up with some other major players (Logitech, Microsoft, Alienware, Dell, HP, and others) in the PC gaming hardware arena to simplify the consumers' search for gaming-compatible PCs. Essentially, they're arguing that 2/3rds of all PCs that were sold last year were not capable of running current-generation games and that this travesty has to stop. I blame their choices of video cards. Yes, it keeps the pricing of computers down, but when you go to Best Buy a lot of gamers want to buy a PC capable of running current and upcoming games at least decently well. A choice would be nice, as well. Meaning, the stores and brands have to offer AT LEAST two models capable of playing games. I applaud this initiative and I hope it builds upon the PC gaming experiences in the near and far future. See this article for more information.
